Overview

Composed entirely of literary quotations from many different sources and from several historical periods, the loose narrative concerns a drifter found by a rich woman who soon falls in love with him. A drowning accident takes place and the drifter dies, but some time later he reappears in the woman’s life looking for a job. Or could it be the man’s twin brother?

Alain Delon stars in what may be the last truly great theatrical feature by Jean-Luc Godard to date.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Fresh

Godard's opening salvo of the '90s sustains an elegiac note to unexpectedly potent effect.

Trevor Johnston, Time Out
Rotten

A good title rather badly used for Jean-Luc Godard's featherweight new film.

Vincent Canby, New York Times
